Women have often been overlooked when it comes to recording historical events. Of the 21 statues, memorials and plaques in Eastbourne, only one celebrates a female (author Lucie Atwell) and when Eastbourne celebrated its 700th anniversary as a market town, there was no mention of the role of women in its evolution. Now is the time to highlight women of influence in Eastbourne in the lead up to the forthcoming anniversary of female emancipation in the UK in 1918. Women of Eastbourne aims to inspire todays women of Eastbourne by celebrating and highlighting the work of the towns' most prolific women from history. We hope to inspire the women of today to research their own hidden history's too.
